This study aims to investigate the validation of the Spiritual Well-being Scale (SWBS) and its role in predicting hope in Iranian older adults. 812 Iranian older adults—aged 60 years and older—participated in this study. Participants were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), the Resilience Scale, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale -21 (DASS-21), and the Adult Hope Scale. The psychometric properties of the SWBS were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), while its reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha. Discriminant validity was measured by examining the relationship with the DASS-21 subscales, and convergent validity was assessed using resilience. In addition, multiple regression analysis was used to predict hope by the SWBS subscales. The four-factor structure provided good agreement with the data. The SWBS had significant negative associations with the subscales of the DASS-21, and there was a significant positive correlation between SWBS and resilience. The results indicate that SWBS significantly predicts hope among older adults. The Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) has good validity for older adults in Iran and can be used in psychological assessments in the Iranian context.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51665,"journal":{"name":"Ageing International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45023296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective is to assess an interaction effect between frailty and education on the association with the use of health services in community-dwelling older Brazilians. This is a cross-sectional study. The study was conducted with community-dwelling older Brazilian individuals. The sample had 5,473 older adults derived from the FIBRA Study. The definition of frailty was made using the physical frailty phenotype. The level of education was assessed by complete years of schooling. The use of health services was assessed by the occurrence of hospitalization, for individuals receiving home visits and having attended four or more medical consults in the past 12 months. The robust Poisson regression model with a robust error variance was used to estimate the prevalence ratio (PR) and its 95% confidence intervals to set the association between frailty and use of health services, considering the interaction between frailty and education in final model. Considering all sample, 16.4% were hospitalized, 14.1% received home visits, and 48.2% attended four or more medical consults. The interaction term between frailty and education was statistically significant only for hospitalization, showing a higher prevalence of health services utilization among pre-frail (PR1.68 95% CI 1.15–2.47) and frail (PR1.77 95% CI 1.08–2.90) older individuals with low education compared to non-frail highly educated peers.

Thirty-six participants (62.1 ± 7.1 years), randomly assigned to exergaming (n = 17) or resistance training (n = 19) groups, underwent two protocols of physical training carried out three times a week for 13 weeks. The exergaming program was based on games from Kinect Sports and Kinect Adventures collections using a console Xbox 360 Kinect. In the resistance-training program, each session consisted of ten full-body exercises using free weights and weight machines. Outcomes were reaction time in simple (finger-press test) and complex (Stroop test) tasks and intraindividual variability. A mixed model analysis of variance was conducted, and effects sizes were calculated. Interactions effects revealed no significant differences between groups before and after 13 weeks of training. Regarding the main effects, only the exergaming group showed a significant (p = 0.041) and relevant decrease in reaction time in a complex task (neutral test) when compared to the pre- (1854 ± 732 ms) and post-tests (1530 ± 521 ms). The resistance-training group showed a trend (relevant effect size) of improvement in intraindividual variability in reaction time. These results suggest that both interventions could benefit the cognitive function of older adults. Exergaming improves the reaction time in a complex task, and resistance training improves the intraindividual variability. However, exergaming was not superior to resistance training in any of the outcomes.

Older adults shifting to institutional living face the problem of an abrupt change in their social environment, often paired with a loss of social identity that had been constructed within the social fabric. In many Asian countries, including India, a considerable number of older adults shift to institutions for reasons other than the need for medical support. Traditional research on older adults living in institutions focuses on the role loss and psychological discomforts of institutional living. The current study is a counter-narrative on how the social fabric of the institutions serve as a platform in which older adults form ties and relationships to construct a new meaningful identity. The research has employed a mixed methodology approach and a sequential exploratory design, sampling 62 older adults from two randomly selected institutions for seniors in Ernakulam, Kerala. The findings suggest that older adults experience a role loss and identity crisis during the initial transfer to institutions, which is gradually compensated to an extent through networking and identifying oneself as a member of the institutional family. In-degree centrality from fellow residents and out-degree centrality towards fellow residents and professionals in the institution significantly impact the ‘Satisfaction with Life’ of the respondents. The findings suggest that institutionalised older adults rely on reciprocal ties and relationships to rediscover their roles and identity, which in turn help them age successfully.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51665,"journal":{"name":"Ageing International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43664683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
